Memory loss is most likely due to the battery in the cart dying or becoming loose. There is a way to to make the SNES able to play foreign and pirate games. You have to open it up and disable the lockout chip. Unfortunately, you need a special tool to open the SNES and I've only done it with NES so I can't really give instructions.

It wasn't really the battery. Otherwise, the entire save file collection would have shut down.

Sometimes batteries can be damaged in ways like that. I've had EarthBound and Kirby Super Star cartridges that regularly deleted the third files, but never the first two.

I've heard stories of people coming across these piracy messages on authentic copies, although it's never happened to me. But I don't think in the Donkey Kong Country games it's supposed to delete your save file, as you suggested. I'm pretty sure that when you tugged it too hard you inadvertently brought this up and at the same time lost some of your save data.
